hello, everybody, few news lately but finaly we should get things done soon !
heatseeker worked on a starting design theme for the new site, based on the actual one.
here's a fresh screenshot of his work in progress : nice screeny here

It will be a temporary design, just to say:" hey ! it's alive !". Then, while we search for a real graphic man (or woman ) , Psycledelics v2.0 will be online.

about the colors, i really have no idea which ones to choose.

Nice work

Altough I think that the biggest problem is the speed of the Psycle server... Navigating here is often painfully slow.

What's the bandwidth usage of the site? I wonder if we could just collect some money among the more active users and buy some space from some fast server for the site...

And maybe a compo for a new Psycle logo, I never liked that head with that infernal lens flare anyway

so the new site is practically ready????

Is it going to have 'themes' or colour presets?

I suppose the current database will be converted to the new one if it has changed. Am i wrong?

about the application speed (or non-speed):

the server itself has many problems for a long time.
and the aplication (DB structure + php) is very slow too.
I run the new app version on the same server, same DB, and it goes really faster (but not as fast as iit should be).

About the themes/colors, even if this functionalities are interesting, it's not the priority right now. But i though about it few months ago.

i will tell you more later.

and finally, about a compo for the logo, why not.
But as the last design compo didn't work at all, i think that if you have some good design skills and you have done something which is interesting, send your graph to ksn and/or me.

and of course this would be good to have this logo matching the ones posted on the wiki for freePscyle

about the color, it's only a question of feelings and matching.
I think i will be able to prepare a skinable interface for the users. I've used customized templates in the application then it will possible to people to create new skins and to upload them (1 condition: it must be light).

So, this is in my roadmap but i don't guarantee this functionality will be ready at the beginning.
